Making everyday better then the last

ABOUT ME

A quick story I enjoy that says a lot about me, and the creative adventures I enjoy.

It’s around 2:00 in the morning and I find myself with a headlamp on my head, a sled under my knees and a small rope in my hands. This would be rather benign besides the fact that the other end of the rope is attached to a Subaru hauling ass down an unplowed-unknown road. And I am being followed too closely by a Jeep which is there for illumination. However, when I realize the situation I am in it’s too late. I immediately find my body sailing towards a tree immerging from the darkness. The Jeep fish tales and slowly slides by narrowly missing me, while I lay at the base of the tree shaking off my impact. RJ calmly hollers out into the darkness, “How many graduate students at Stanford are doing this tonight?”, as he shifts into low range, looks over his shoulder and backs his jeep out of the ditch.
